Brianne is definitely dying. Her entire character arc has been finished and she got her pay off in episode 2. Ramsey will probably die as well cuz his redemption arc is basically over.

I think Danny and Sansa and Tyrion will live, they left to much undone with them.

Everyone else is up in the air for me.


Jaime is a lock to live. I think Brienne lives and she ends up fucking Jaime.

Podrick, Tormund, Edd, and Beric are fucked.

Disagreements here? Personally, I'd bump Sam, Dany and Sansa up to top row

Hound, Bran, Tyrion 2nd row

rest of them seem ok to me

I don't get why everyone thinks Brienne's arc is done. They've been building up a sexual tension with her and Jaime and now Jaime is over Cersei. Plus Podrick's death will have a bigger impact with her alive to mourn him, especially since I guarantee he dies saving her life.

Briannes entire character was headed towards knighthood literally since her introduction. Now that she has been knighted, her arc is effectively over.

I don't think Sansa is completely safe. Her character doesn't really have anything it needs to do. She's already told Dani her feelings about the North.
I would put Arya above her very slightly. I think Arya still has one more big move in store. She also doesn't seem the type to fight and die on a battlefield. That would be out of character.
Also I don't think Tyrion is invincible here. Ever since he killed his father he's been mostly a side character.
Daenerys has to settle with Jon
And Hound isn't really a main character at all anymore

Sam I'm honestly just unsure.. Maybe 2nd row but he's already given Jon the news so I'm not sure. Third row could fit him as well.

Summary:
Switch Arya+Tyrion
Switch Hound+Daenerys

Because characters can only have one simple arc and they can't be complex at all....


That's like saying Tyrion should have died after he killed his father since his initial arc was about being accepted by his father....

I mean that's basically her entire characters only thing. Everything about her is having the qualities of a knight but not being a knight cuz woman. The only other aspects of her character is the fan shipping of her and Jamie, which isn't actually real in the show and Tormund wanting to fuck her. If you don't think Tyrion is a much more complicated character than Brianne then idk what to say.

I mostly agree with this but I wanna frame it in a different way. I think Brienne has 2 arcs.

The deeper arc starts with the story she tells about when when Renley danced with her and treated her well at the box social when the other guys wouldn't. This arc is the "I want to be a lady but I can't, so I guess I'll be a fighter instead"

The outer arc starts from the story about when Randyll Tarly's soldiers were taking bets about her virginity. This arc is "not only am I going to be a fighter but I'm going to be the best one so I kick anyone's ass and no one will mess with me again"

The outer arc gets resolved in S8E2. She's reached the pinnacle of fighter status in the system she grew up in. A general in the queen's army. The best fighter she's ever known (Jaime) judging her worthy of the highest status he can grant. Becoming the only woman to break the gender barrier.

The deeper arc still needs an element of resolution. Luckily, there's enough screen time in S8E3 for us to see her get it. It's possible for her and Jaime to connect in a way that validates not only her ability to fight but also to be loved. And with that, she can die in S8E3 as Jaime's Nissa Nissa and fulfill her role in Jaime's arc (which of course is much larger than hers)

The creators of the show literally talked about her love for Jaime after last weeks episode lol. Plus it was obvious as fuck even before that.
